Passenger Seat is the first, autobiographical, novel of Alexander Auron. It describes a time in the life of an unemployed student, aspiring filmmaker and quite possibly mental patient, as he wanders the streets of a city full of life for everyone except him. Its key theme is love, love between humans, love of cinema, of art, of friendship, of intelligence and beauty, beauty above all else, in all its forms and expressions, in the minuscule and crucial moments we all have shared, with people who passed through our lives for the duration of a single breath, changing it in ways we cannot fathom, years later, and with people who were by our side for years, without ever sharing the one and only part of their soul we wanted them to: the part which loves.
